This was our finding as well on a recent visit with our kids. We also *loved* the cocktails. In fact, we enjoyed our experience here so much that DH & I wanted to return this past Sunday while on an impromptu date night but unfortunately got stuck in a ridiculous traffic mess around Moscone due to I believe Obama's arrival.

Frustrated with traffic & looking for parking, we ended up at the bar at Boulevard. Great service but food was, how do I say it...boring.

I'm looking forward to returning to Zero Zero...A16 (went in Dec), not so much.

Nor sure about that either, definitely on open table the reservations jump from 5:30 pm to 10 pm. 5:30 though is convenient enough. Flour + Water fills up months in advance mainly due to their first come first serve seating policy.
